About the Japanese Spitz
This is the only Spitz-type dog bred exclusively for companionship, although Spitz types in Japan were originally formidable working dogs.
These solidly built, well proportioned dogs have an abundant coat of pure white, pointed muzzle, pricked triangular ears and feathery tail. Their natural spirit and dignity are expressed in their harmonious elegant beauty.
